The consumer agrees to maintain as near unity power factor as practicable. The Association reserves the right to measure such power factor at any time.

NOTE: All rates are subject to applicable sales tax and a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA). The PCA is a charge or credit on your monthly bill to pass through increases or decreases in the cost of purchased power. The Billing Demand for the month shall be the maximum recorded 15-minute integrated demand in kilowatts.
